...and while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." And they became greatly distressed and bega...n to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, ...eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

One of life's primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for y...ou, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn't hide too well. You mustn't be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I have every characteristic of a night person--a distaste for bosses, a hatred of the expected, an obsession with gaining an ultim...ately nonexistent freedom--every quality except one. I can't stay awake after a while. I fall asleep.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my at...tention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment--like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Men have a low threshold for distraction. They are delicate. They are made nervous by having to do more than one thing at a time. ...They feel frazzled and angry if they have to answer three phone calls, and have a hard time settling back to work after the trauma. Women, on the other hand, develop the skill of doing many things at once. They tuck the phone in between their shoulders and their ears, hold a baby on one hip, stir a pot on the stove, all the while thinking about an idea for a story. They don't think it's unfair to have to do this. They think it's normal.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

"But there's always been rich and poor, and that's all there is to it. And us two won't change it, either." The carpenter ca...lmly puffs away: "Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I ain't got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
